Accidents, Injuries and Illnesses

Northern Michigan University’s official “University Incident Reporting Policy for Accidents/Injuries/Illnesses” requires NMU campus residents and employees, as well as visitors, to inform their supervisors, persons of authority or NMU Public Safety whenever an incident takes place that requires more than self-administered first aid. These include accidents, on-the-job and on-campus injuries and serious illnesses.

A university incident report must be prepared by the supervisor, Public Safety or other persons of authority within 24 hours of the incident.
